Did you see the game where Fritz got slapped silly in the Dutch tournament? Does that mean it can't keep up with anybody today? No, it just meant it got into one bad game. Hitech can play with most any program of today. It would probably lose more than it would win since it has been passed by in terms of speed. But it would not be a pushover by _any_ stretch of the imagination, and would prove to be very dangerous. BeBe searched about 40K moves per second, and would be overwhelmed by most any program of today. But HiTech could hit over 160K nodes per sec, with a very good evaluation that didn't slow down as they added terms due to the hardware design they used. Hitech would be a very bad program to underestimate. It used singular extensions, endgame databases, etc. Very similar to the things done in some of todays's programs...
